here's where you're wrong buckaroo
See only about what 10% are even aware of crypto and like 1% are involved in it? I"m not sure but apparently the numbers are catastrophically low. So widespread acceptance is something that YOU are jumping the gun on, not us silverchads.
Now to get to the CORE of value... silver is valuable because its rare, and shiny, and because it makes women want to have fucking babies with the person who gives them gifts with it. Same effect as gold has ultimately. You give silver to jeweler, he makes pretty thing, you give pretty thing to pretty lady, she makes you baby. Babies are worth living and working for. THAT is why shiny metals (and gems) have value... its literally womens vanity, something that we as humans wont be able to get rid of.
So yearly we have a consumption of 200 million oz just for jewelry with silver. Regardless of price, regardless of hype, the people want fucking silver jewelry.
So there is a intrinsic use case isnt there? One that doesnt need explaining ... ITS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT, no tokenomics required. Not to mention the health benefits of silver and silverware.
And completely disregarding the use in industry, in cars, in electronics... which is also HUGE, even bigger than jewelry desu (800 million oz consumed a year of silver across all categories) because of silvers epic conductivity.
Now, what about bitcoin? It's PURE faith, and has NO intrinsic use case, something that people WANT. Sure you can get a bunch of autists to make the price go up, then idiots to go "ooh price go upppp" but once that's gone, much like for the tulips, its worthless.
